Reviews of every film I watch. The Good, The Bad and The Mothman Prophecies.

The Life affirming true story of one family’s struggle for survival in the wake of the 2004 tsunami. In the age of Michael Bay it is refreshing to see a film with such jaw dropping effects also have some great acting and a strong story too. Naomi Watts has just been oscar nommed for what must have been a very gruelling role and Ewan Mcgregor continues his current good form with another able performance. It must have been tempting to make this film longer by having the story be a bit more Hollywood but director Juan Antonio Bayona (The Orphanage) resists this temptation and lets the story speak for itself. A truly touching and emotional film. Try watching this without having something in your eye at least once. I dare you.
